You can send me email by using this e address : bruce . . . oldn . . 2 n 7 at gm . . . ail dot com and push it all together to make an email address, I give it this way to confuse email harvesters. I dont' read my email very often, maybe twice a month. Don't use any of my old Charter email addresses, there's problems with those.

But I see a Chromebook doesn't trust the TrainWeb site, it is looking for http S = secure, and trainweb is just http.
Athearn Cow and Calf Locomotives on my model railroad
It has been a busy Spring and Summer.
We had to dog-sit the nephew's dog for 2 weeks. Never do that again. It was an old dog and it passed away a month later.
At the same time, I hosted 20 visitors to my model railroad. (20 years ago, the count was 28 visitors). People are passing away.
My mother passed away at 98 years old. Now no other parents are left in the family.
I spent 3 weeks away from trains to put flooring in a bedroom.
One computer got a Stop Code problem and still does, I have to read how to cure that.
My Win98 computer has my favorite photo program, but it had mouse problems.
And I suspect the problem started while moving pictures from an Android phone to that old computer.
I wouldn't be surprised if something from Google rode along with the files.
Anyway, it's time to catch up on 'old' business.
Paul B emailed me and asked for some information about the GBW in Stevens Point in the early 1990's,
he is modeling that era and area.
I have a few pictures, I know where my slides are, but I also ran in to these old maps, almost too old for the era he is seeking.

People liked my floating pontoon bridge.
I haven't made any web pages in over a month. I have a few pictures of real trains in my area,
but there's better ones on Facebook.
The model railroad show named Arctic Run was Jan. 2024 in Stevens Point Wis.

This 'old dog' had to learn some new tricks. My web pages has been few and far between, and then to top that off, I learned Firefox discontinued (that's even worse than just quit supporting) their convenient file transfer protocol (FTP) that moves my pages onto the Trainweb site. So I had to read up on my problem and do a web search for a suitable replacement, which was FileZilla. And I had to find my old log-in data from 2010, a real memory test.
Web pages are 'old technology', before facebook and texting and such; and I am old, so that matches.
Waupaca train show 2021 and the historic depot
Here's a new (private now, but it was public at the start) facebook group this year, useful if you like to model the paper industry:

I saw that my Whiting Paper Mill web pages are not all linked or easily found. So I put them all in a row here so they would be easier to find. The mill and its railroad tracks were ripped out from 2011 to 2015. These are show from the newer and going back to the older.
